Dr. Reilly is an Assistant Professor within the Department of Psychiatry’s Center
for Cognitive Medicine. His research focuses on neurocognition in psychiatric diseases,
with an aim to bridge the basic cognitive and clinical neurosciences in this research.
He is presently a clinical investigator in the First Episode Psychosis Research
Program which is headed by Dr. John Sweeney. Dr. Reilly’s most recent work has centered
on the neurophysiology of abnormalities in spatial attention, spatial working memory,
and response inhibition among treatment-naïve first-episode schizophrenia and how
these abnormalities are impacted by atypical antipsychotic medication. This work
aims to further the understanding of abnormalities in specific brain systems that
underlie cognitive deficits in schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders so that
better interventions can be developed to target these debilitating symptoms.
Dr. Reilly also provides clinical services in the Neuropsychology Service, which
is part of the Department of Psychiatry’s Neurobehavior Program, and is directed
by Dr. Neil Pliskin. In this service Dr. Reilly conducts comprehensive neuropsychological
assessments of adult patients in whom impairments of cognitive or neuropsychiatric
functioning are evident or suspected. More information about the Neuropsychology
Service, including how to make a referral, can be found here.
Dr. Reilly earned his doctorate in clinical psychology from the University of Virginia.
He completed his clinical psychology internship
at the University of Illinois at Chicago where he also completed a two-year post-doctoral
residency in clinical neuropsychology.
